Pattern Play

I've always found mixing patterns to be a little intimidating. I was worried my outfit would in up clashing, instead of looking effortless. But, when I found this Anthropologie dress, I knew it would be the perfect piece to try pattern mixing. The key is to keep one piece neutral, like the dress. Black and white stripes make an easy background for just about any another pattern. I doubt I'll try this look that often, but it was fun for an afternoon at the farmer's market.
